Acclaimed Kollywood filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj’s recently released romantic action drama, Retro, featuring Suriya and Pooja Hegde in lead roles, is performing steadily at the ticket counters across Tamil Nadu. However, the film’s Telugu version has ended up being a disappointing venture.
Retro received heavily mixed reviews from critics and movie lovers alike. It looks like Karthik is upset by a few reviews, and he said in a latest interview that “one shouldn’t watch online reviews.” “I am not saying that one should not review a film. But most online reviews have other agendas. When we watch a review, we understand if it’s a genuine feedback or a fake review with an agenda. I have stopped watching online reviews after Retro,” he added.
While Retro is considered Suriya’s better work in recent times, the film is yet to cross the Rs 100 crore milestone, and Suriya fans’ long wait for a shattering blockbuster continues. Retro is produced by Suriya under his 2D Entertainment banner. Santhosh Narayanan is the film’s music composer.
